After last night’s flub on the Senate floor resulting in the government shutdown official at 12:01 am est January 20, 2018<\/b>, today’s first anniversary of the 2017 Trump inauguration hints at a difficult year ahead. For astrologers, the familiar planetary pattern, the YOD, may describe the R vs D stand-off and Donald Trump’s turn from accepting a bi-partisan bill that included funding for his highly touted ‘wall’ and, sure enough, we find a YOD pattern in today’s Solar Return horoscope of Trump’s January 2017 Inauguration which may be viewed here<\/a>. That’s if<\/i> we accept the North Node as apex of the sextile between Moon and Mercury<\/b> but given current conditions in Washington DC, I’m willing to accept the pattern as a YOD if you are.<\/p>\n

YOD<\/b> = crisis, special task, crossroads, turning point, opportunity for karmic progress.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Perhaps the question is, what are the effects of a Moon-Mercury pairing in Politics and Business? In US Mundane Astrology, we know Moon = We The People<\/b>, or The Public<\/b>, and Luna’s sign indicates the prevailing public mood (Pisces = confused–and compassionate toward all those who will be harmed by the US Congress not doing its constitutional duty to appropriate<\/i><\/b>). Mercury represents many things such as negotiations, agreements, dealing, trading, communications, commerce, messages, votes, young people, and tricksterism.<\/p>\n

Together Moon-Mercury<\/b> denotes such potentials as: propaganda efforts (each party blaming the other for the shutdown–I see them both to blame but with Mr. Trump behind the curtain throwing a monkey wrench into the deal–he loves to cause quarrels); generating excitement among people on behalf of popular causes; restlessness among the population over business and commerce; compiling and analyzing attitudes of the people (aka<\/i>, polls).<\/p>\n

Well, the House is in session this morning and the Senate gavels in at noon as I type. Mr. Trump’s big anniversary party tonight at Mar-a-Lago is on hold until this stalemate is resolved which could be the strongest leverage for forcing a bill signing from the legislatively challenged Mr. Trump.<\/p>\n
